PALISANDER RECORDER QUARTET

Caoimhe de Paor

Throughout the ages, music and magic have been intrinsically linked. In this programme, Palisander’s members explore music’s historic relationship with the wider magical spectrum, including elements of mathematics, philosophy, nature, religion, and the occult.

The repertoire varies from traditional folk songs to Renaissance music presented in consort format and exciting new arrangements created by Palisander of composers rarely heard on the recorder, such as J.S. Bach and Tartini, as well as Sweelinck and other traditional English and Italian music.

The programme is woven together by readings from historical sources. Palisander’s imaginative staging and creative presentation, combined with atmospheric employment of extended techniques, creates a magical experience for audiences of all ages!
